Where To Install Camera Raw Plugin

The oddest thing happened to me.  I solved it, but I am hoping someone can provide me with an explanation:
1) I downloaded the lastest Camera Raw Plugin for CS3 and followed the installation instructions given at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3893. 
2) I still could not open my .dng files from bridge because I was still getting the message that I did not have the proper Camera Raw Plugin for CS3. 
3) So, I did a search for all of the Camera Raw Plugins on my computer and found one located in Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins. 
4) So, I replaced the Camera Raw Plugin I had found in Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins with the new one that I had downloaded from Adobe and previously placed in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats as I had been instructed. 
5) It worked, and now I can open my .dng files from Bridge into Photoshop.  Why the discrepancy between what I was instructed to do and what actually seems to work?
Thank you,
Robert

Note that is your ROOT LEVEL library, NOT your user library.
That is the ONLY correct location for the Camera Raw plug-in.  You should have no other such Camera Rawplug-in anywhere else in your setup [for CS3].

  • Where to install Camera Raw 3.7?

    I downloaded Camera Raw 3.7 Update (MacOS X) , but cannot figure out where both Lightroom and CS2 want to find it.
    I can't even find any existing instance of Camera raw although it must be
    b somewhere
    on my machine.

    Although Lightroom's raw processing technology is based on the same code found in Camera Raw 3.7 it does not rely on the plug-in for updated support.
    For Photoshop CS2 users, the easiest way to update the Camera Raw plug-in is through the update mechanism available in the Help menu.

  • Installing Camera Raw plugin in PSE 10

    My PSE 10 did not come with Camera Raw installed. I've tried to download and install from the Adobe site but my results indicate the downlaod is not for my version. Trying to use the Help menu in PSE 10 says everything is up to date. How can I get and install Camaera Raw 6.5?

    You should consider uninstalling and reinstalling PSE. Sounds like you have something there that is blocking stuff - both recognition of the update state as well as the actual update.

  • I can't install camera raw plugin for my PS elements 10 editor from app store for my mac os

    Please help

      Adobe says that downloaded patches don’t work with the app store version (see FAQ)

    but some have found a work around. You can right-click the Editor application to show Package Contents if you are sufficiently technically minded to find your way around the OSX system. See the thread for Barbara’s instructions:

  • Trouble installing Camera Raw plugin

    I've downloaded the 5_7_updater for CS4 and when I try to run it, I'm getting a message that Adobe Bridge is running.  I've restarted my computer, but it's not helping. Has any one else run into this problem?

    Do you have bridge set to start when your computer starts? Look under preferences/advanced.

  • Camera raw plugin for photoshop 5.5 (windows) not updating

    Hi, I'm trying to update the camera raw plugin (min 8.2) in photoshop 5.5 for windows. I downloaded, ran, installed camera raw plugin 8.6 and rebooted. The installation wizard shows as installed but when I open photoshop it still has camera raw 6.7.0.339. Please help!! (The dng converter works but the camera raw plugin has not been updated)

    That may be because the latest version of ACR that works with CS5 is ACR 6.7
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    You can install ACR 8.7.1 in CS6 to get new Camera support without ACR new features

  • Camera Raw Plugin for PSE9

    What version of the camera raw plugin should I use for PSE9?

    Since PSE 9 onwards, you dont need to install Camera Raw plugin manually. Whenever a new update of Camera Raw will be available on Adobe.com, it will show as an update in PSE 9 as well. Look for Adobe Application Manager - Updater icon in the Task Bar. If you see an icon, click on it and install the update from there itself.

  • Can't install camera raw 4.1 on Mac

    I have an Intel iMac running OS 10.4.10, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.
    I couldn't make Camera Raw work, and it did not appear in ...Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/FileFormat as it is supposed to do. In fact, there is no such folder in Library/Application Support...
    There is, however, a folder: Adobe/CameraRaw/Defaults/Preferences.xmp. A similar thing appears in the Photoshop CS3 in Appplication Support, but it has a bunch of Presets as well
    In the drop-down menu in Bridge "Open in Camera Raw" appears, but it is always grayed out.
    When I first went to open Camera Raw and I had this trouble I couldn't find the CR Plug-in where it seemed to belong, so I uninstalled Camera Raw. (The two folders above seem to have gotten left behind). Then I downloaded it afresh. However, the download has no read me, and it did not install itself where it belongs. It is just sitting on the desktop in a folder named DNG_Camera_Raw_4.1.dmg. In it are the two icons:
    b /Volumes/DNG_Camera_Raw_4_1/Adobe DNG Converter.app
    b /Volumes/DNG_Camera_Raw_4_1/Camera Raw.plugin.
    Where should I move them to? I am especially puzzled because I do not have the proper Application Support folder. Is there a way out of this other than uninstalling and reinstalling all of Photoshop?

    I did that long since, but it didn't help.
    Someone suggested that I purge my cache, but that looks like a pretty scary thing to do.
    Will it remove all the photo icons in Bridge? How will I find anything?
    I have to ask all these questions because in this whole mess both photoshop and bridge help have disappeared. I keep getting a message:
    b This topic is in the Help system of another product. To view the topic, install that product. file:///Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Help/en_US/Bridge/2.0/toc.html
    This maakes no sense at all: What product?
    It refers me to Apple help on line, but there is no solution there. I will phone Support tomorrow, and perhaps there will be someone there who knows what this is about. The About for Adobe Help 1.0 and 1.1, when I bring them up in Spotlight, both claim they belong to Photoshop.

  • HELP! How do I un-install and then RE-install Camera Raw 5.7 on my Mac?

    My CS4 would no longer open my RAW files (Canon 5D Mark II) and I was told (on this forum) that I needed to update my camera raw to 5.7. So I downloaded 5.7 but could not figure out HOW to get it installed in the proper place. After trying but not succeeding, my CS4 now tells me there is NO camera raw installed, not even the old one I was running! So I tried to RE-install 5.7 but I get the message that it's already installed. So it's SOMEWHERE on my computer, but I don't know where. It's not in photoshop or where is should be, but I can't try to install it again because my computer tells me it's already installed. How do I remove it from my computer so that I can try again? OR MAYBE BETTER YET, HOW DO I FIND IT AND GET IT INTO THE PROPER PLACE?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm using version 10.9.4
    I found the previous 5.7 plug in, trashed it, and started over again.Then I, once again, downloaded Camera Raw version 5.7, and then did the following:
    I double clicked on the downloaded Camera_Raw_5.7 dmg and then double clicked on the cameraprofiles.mpkg
    Then I installed the camera raw.plugin by going to (Macintosh hard drive) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats, which was empty (somehow my previous version of Camera Raw was already gone).
    Then dragged the new camera raw plugin from the dmg to the same folder.
    I restarted my computer and there STILL is no Camera RAW in my Photoshop!! Good grief! Any more suggestions? Maybe you and I need to screen-share....

  • Camera Raw Plugin PSE6 MAC Not Working

    I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw Plugin for a MAC - for Photoshop Elements 6. I followed the instructions included in the readme file, copied the Camera Raw Plugin file to where the instructions said to but it doesn't work.  From Bridge, from the "file" dropdown menu, instead of an option to open in Camera Raw, it says "Check Plugin".  Since Camera Raw Version 5.3 didn't work, I deleted it and downloaded an earlier version (4.6) installed it as per the instructions but I still can't open a photo in Camera Raw. It still says to "Check Plugin".  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Gilda

    Gilda:
    Here is where I copied the Camera Raw Plugin file - Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
    Barbara, I don't know the first thing about this, but I do remember (when looking for something else) reading
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407456.html
    which says that the latest plug-in should be put in the ../Adobe Photoshop Elements 6/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/ folder and the
    equivalent Bridge folder.
    As I say, I've no idea whether this has any bearing on Gilda's problem.

  • Camera Raw Plugin Missing

    I am on Photoshop Extended version 12.1 x 64 on OSX 10.7.2 Lion and when I go into Aboout Plug-Ins, the "Camera Raw..." one is missing from the list. Ontop of that, I am unable to install the Camera Raw installer 6.5. I get the error message "Update Is Not Applicable". How do I fix this? do I just make a folder somwhere in the plug-ins folder? where? how? help!
    I'm also unable to edit my camera RAW .CR2 files from my Canon Rebel XS running firmware 1.0.7 (however I know the reason why).
    I get the error message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."

    I've also now deleted the plug-ins folder found in my Library > Application Support > Adobe folder. uninstalled and then reinstalled photoshop and still nothing in the way of camera raw support. I do see an option for it in the preferences drop down however it says "Could not complete the Camera Raw command because the Adobe Camera Raw plugin cannot be found."
    how can I put the plugin in the right place if the updater won't let me, where can I download just the .plugin file?

  • Where is the Camera Raw 7.2 download?

    Adobe's web page "New Downloads" refers to a new download by "Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter"—but when downloading the self-extracting archive then it will contain DNG Converter 7.2 only (plus a bazillion of camera and lens profiles) but no Camera Raw 7.2. What gives?

    This sentence doesn't make any sense, grammatically and logically. So once again: Where can I download the manual update file for Camera Raw 7.2, please?
    It makes sense to people who understand computers and files.  Here it is stated another way:
    The Camera Raw plug-in is embodied in one or two files only (depending on whether you have a Mac or a Windows x64 system).
    On a Mac it's Camera Raw.plugin.  On a PC the plug-in is named Camera Raw.8bi.  The file(s) are several tens of megabytes in size.
    In either case, if you copy those file(s) from the place(s) they are installed after a successful update to the place(s) they should be installed on your non-internet connected machines, you will have successfully applied the update manually.
